Last Wednesday Dookey67 and I did a recon mission back to Heartbreak Ridge.
I last skied there in 2006.
(In 2006 US Marines politely greeted us at the gate. Last year and this year they had a private security firm at the gates.)
When Dookey and I tried to ski near there last year we found a lift, but no snow.
(The Marines we met got a good laugh at our exploits. They also tried to help us and radioed others to check for snow availability.)
Since this was a recon mission to find snow, before skiing on Heartbreak Ridge we hiked over to the next ridge, Jackwagon Ridge.
Here is Dookey67 followed by Penny:

The snow was smooth, so we headed up for another run. Dookey67 heads up for another run on Jackwagon Ridge while Penny sniffs the bootpack:

After two laps on Jackwagon Ridge, we hiked back up to Heartbreak Ridge proper...
